Ahmed Taqi is said to have been “experiencing a mental health crisis.” No one seems at all struck by the fact that so many Muslims experiencing a mental health crisis turn to violence.

But in any case, if the mentally ill person in question here had been a non-Muslim, this would have become a major instance of “Islamophobia” and the basis for a new round of establishment media hectoring.

As it is, the whole thing will quickly be forgotten.

“Man Killed by Police After Dearborn Mosque Fire Identified,” Associated Press, February 14, 2022:

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a man who police shot and killed Saturday after officers noticed a fire at a Detroit-area mosque.

Dearborn officials said Sunday that Ahmed Taqi, 37, was fatally shot after he exchanged gunfire with Dearborn police officers….

Police said officers noticed the fire early Saturday at the Al-Huda Islamic Association in Dearborn before they encountered Taqi, who was armed.

Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud said Taqi was “responsible for the fire.”

Police said Taqi fled the area and fired at police, beginning a pursuit that ended in Detroit….

It’s unclear what motivated Taqi. But Hammoud said he may have been “experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.”
